The attack came about an hour after another attack that wounded a 16-year-old boy in the 1600 block of East 71st Street in the nearby South Shore neighborhood. Someone shot the boy and ditched a small revolver with a taped handle in a nearby empty lot. The boy was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital with wounds to his shoulder and buttocks.
